History

In 2008, Gen was recruited into the Shadowhunter Academy for potential Ascension. After two years of training, Gen and nine other mundanes were set to finally go through Ascension—a ritual with known risks. Gen was called first as they were arranged alphabetically. After some ceremonial rites and swearing to uphold the oath dictated by the Consul, Gen drank from the Mortal Cup and survived, successfully Ascending into a full-fledged Nephilim.[1] Gen took on the Whitelaw name.
